New Character Models in Modelviewer

The Wowhead modelviewer now supports redesigned character models in addition to the classic character models. Simply select between the new "Warlords" and "Classic" options at the bottom left of the tool.

The viewer currently supports the following races: Male Orc, Female Orc, Male Gnome, Female Gnome, Male Dwarf, Female Dwarf, Tauren Male. There are tons of emote options you can try out as well!

You can dress up characters in new Warlords of Draenor gear with our Item Comparison Tool as well. Add items to the tool by clicking on the "Compare" button on item lists or item pages, or via the +Item option on the tool itself. Then, click on the carrot at the top left of the item icons to bring up a menu allowing you to view it in 3D. Or, if you're browsing a list of items, just hit the checkbox for items you like and click "View in 3D."

Make sure you are viewing the site on wod.wowhead.com to see the new Warlords model options.

We've seen images of the new Female Dwarf model already at BlizzCon, but a 3D version was just added to the official Warlords of Draenor page.

We’ve updated the model viewer on our website with a look at one of the revised characters you’ll see in Azeroth and beyond with Warlords of Draenor. Meet the new and improved female Dwarf.

It was a challenge for our character artists to find a balance between the classic female dwarf model and the expressiveness of her fluid new animations, but we think the updated model says “descended from unyielding stone” as much as “griffon-riding, ale-swilling, loud-living hero.”

We’ll continue to unearth more of Draenor and the shiny visuals coming to World of Warcraft around the release of Warlords. Keep your magnifiers and spectacles ready!

Blizzard previewed the new female orc model for Warlords of Draenor today. Updated 3D models is one of the most-anticipated features of the expansion, and all races, save for Goblin, Worgen, and Pandaren, will be getting 3D Model updates.

You can purchase the Alterac Brew-Pup and Enchanted Fey Dragon for $30 total here. For every Alterac Brew Pup and Enchanted Fey Dragon bundle or individual Alterac Brew Pup purchased now through December 31, 2013, Blizzard will donate $5 to Make-A-Wish®.

You can also buy them individually: the Brew Pup for $10 here and the mount for $25 here.

Naturally this means we have some to giveaway--both store additions are so cute, we're giving away both!

This mount changes color--going between blue, yellow, and red. As an added bonus, it scales based on your riding level and functions as a ground mount in no-fly zones.

Entrusted with protecting the Emerald Dream, the Enchanted Fey Dragon absorbs magic and exudes style—with a chroma-shifting twist. Saddle up on one of these iridescent sprites and enjoy the instant street (and sky) cred that comes with being one of the last bastions of cool.

Descended from a long pedigree of rescue hounds, the Alterac Brew Pup has a nose for finding travelers in distress in the high altitudes of the Alterac Mountains. However, it’s the massive pup’s ability to reignite your soul with its “warm spirits” on a cold that night that will make this furry friend your most trusted and treasured companion.

This guide takes a look at all the new transmog options added in Patch 5.4. There's many new sets from Tier 16 (PvE) and Season 14 (PvP), as well as some unique Mogu'shan Vaults recolors from Timeless Isle. There's also a ton of lookalike tier that doesn't have class restrictions if you want to resemble another class! Mouseover the links to see an image preview of the set.

Filter This Set: Some sets have a ton of matching gear options like Darkmantle Armor, so we've added a Filter button at the top of set pages. Now you can narrow down set pieces and see their sources (filter view).

Same Model As: Our Same Model As tab now has images of all gear with the same design--perfect for easily seeing what gear looks alike. Click on the image to open it in our 3D Modelviewer.

Image Search Results: Our Weapons and Armor search results now come with a Gallery tab that shows images. These can be clicked on to view in our 3D Modelviewer too!

Tier 16 Weapons

In addition to new armor styles coming in Patch 5.4 with the Siege of Orgrimmar, the upcoming raid is filled with new weapon models referencing Garrosh's Horde, the Sha, and the Klaxxi. There's even a sweet weapon, Seismic Bore, that boosts mining!

Also in this recent PTR build, datamined noodle cart recipes like Grand Noodle Cart Kit were given quest sources. These quests are tied to deciphering the mysterious ingredients behind the Lin family's secret soup. Each of the following recipes makes 5 carts that have 10 or 25 bowls each.

Noodle Cart, which makes 25 noodle bowls of 250 stat food, costs 10 each of all 250 stat food. It's from Catch and Carry, in which you gather grain to make special noodles.

Today's news roundup takes a look at the first wave of 5.4 Battle Pets in the PTR pet journal, as well as some details behind the upcoming Kil'jaeden's Cunning nerf--it's no longer a passive ability and instead has a duration of 15 seconds with a 1.5 minute cooldown.
